From: Dave Hansen <[email protected]> There are times where the kernel is entered but there is no safe stack, like at SYSCALL entry. To obtain a safe stack, we have to clobber %rsp and store the clobbered value in 'rsp_scratch'.
Map this to userspace to allow us to do this stack switch before the CR3 switch.
